A well-written book that looks into the workings of the men who worked for Gotti and did his handiwork. A lot of research went into this book and I was not disappointed with the overall story. A good book if you are interested in this topic.

Captivating! Gott's Boys was a very well written story which had me hooked from the beginning. The author did an excellent job in detailing the "inside" story and those that were involved with the Gotti family.

I have always been a reader of mafia books so I was very excited to read this book. It did not disappoint. Good read on John Gotti and the people that worked for him. Lots of information and well written. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving this book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

I have a fascination with any book which is Maffia related, This one did not disappoint. A good look at the mafia henchmen for John Gotti. The author explores the ins and outs of their chosen lifestyles and outlines how these lifestyles were unravelled by each person’s actions. Recommended for those interested in the Maffia, and the Gotti family. A good read.

An interesting read on the men who worked with John Gotti and how they ended up. A must for fans of mafia history

This book examines an interesting slice of history. A very scary part of history, really. Anyone interested in mafia history will enjoy this book.

An interesting read on the men who helped put, and keep, John Gotti in place at the top of the Gambino crime family. I found the writing to be a bit long-winded and verbose. And choppy. All in all, a valuable addition to the volumes of information out there on Gotti.

Interesting read about some of the people who were behind of one of the most reputable organized crime figures in history, John Gotti. Anthony DeStefano brilliantly lets the story unfold to where readers almost feel like they're watching it happen in real-time. A bit wordy at times, yet informative and engaging.

They called him the “Teflon Don.” But in his short reign as the head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti wracked up a lifetime of charges from gambling, extortion, and tax evasion to racketeering, conspiracy, and five convictions of murder. He didn’t do it alone. Surrounding himself with a rogues gallery of contract killers, fixers, and enforcers, he built one of the richest, most powerful crime empires in modern history. Who were these men? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside Gotti’s inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other Mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti’s Boys . . .
Growing up in an Italian family, I was obsessed with Mafia books, movies and documentaries. This is an obsession that has carried on to my adult years, so I was excited to see a new book out there. Overall it wasn’t a bad read. There was a lot of extra that I didn’t really think was necessary to an already wordy book. But it was still an interesting look at those that helped build and destroy the teflon Don.

Chronicles the career of John Gotti and the kingpins who did the work for him:

Charles Carneglia-dissolved bodies in acid leaving their jewelry to identify the body.
Gene Gotti-Johns younger brother who ran a multimillion dollar drug scheme.
Angelo Ruggiero- "quack quack" due to his running mouth, wiretapped by FBI because he liked to talk.
Tony Rampino-
Sammy Gravano-helped Gotti execute Catellano, then wanted to execute Gotti.

Gotti's rise from street thug to becoming a mafia kingpin, nicknamed the 'Teflon Don' because he got away with so many crimes, before finally being found guilty. This includes courtroom testimony, corrupt juries, and blind devotion and the crimes these men committed at Gottis asking. It also points out many erroneous facts and discrepancies published in other books about the mafia.
This is a must read for all mafia fans and highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good trye crime or well written crime book. Its concise, thorough and the research done in writing this,is amazing. Its engaging and well done. It includes an excellent and extensive bibliography, a Gotti Role Call of all his players, a section of courtroom decisions and cases and great notes.
I highly recommend reading this. DeStefano is an excellent writer.
Thanks to Citadel and the author for sharing this e-book ARC for review.

A really interesting and insightful read about John Gotti and his henchmen. This isn't a topic I had much previous knowledge on so I was excited to read Gotti's Boys to educate myself more on the subject. You can tell that Anthony M. DeStefano has put a lot of thought and research into this book, it is very insightful and a decent read for anyone who enjoys the True Crime genre or would like to know more about Gotti and his mob in more detail!

This was a good look at mob henchmen’s actions and functioning of the particular Bergin crew that operated to help John Gotti on his rise to power and followed his orders. They were busted by recordings made from bugs that were planted in the social club and some other’s home. Indictments were issued from that and the gathering of information after it was learned that one associate and his wife had died in a plane crash under false name, which brought out a lot of things unknown before (Salvatore Ruggiero). Some mentioned: Angelo Ruggiero, John Corneglia, Mark Reiter, Neil Dellacroce, Gene Gotti.

This is a very decent book for those who like mob books in the later days of the Mafia in the US when Gotti was coming up and then in power. Advance electronic review copy was provided by NetGalley, author Anthony M. DeStefano, and the publisher.
